Old Kilcullen (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Old Kilcullen, formerly Kilcullen (Cill Chuilinn, "the Church of the Holly" in Irish), is a townland in County Kildare, Ireland, which includes a noted religious archaeological site within its boundary. It was formerly the site of a walled town, and before that of an ecclesiastical settlement dating from the 5th century. The original settlement gave its name to the substantial surrounding Civil Parish and barony. The urban centre of the area moved about 2 km west and slightly north to Kilcullen Bridge on the River Liffey, often now simply known as Kilcullen, over the centuries following the construction of a bridge there in 1319. Old Kilcullen is also under 5 km from Newbridge and around 13 km from Naas.
